Kris Aquino loses weight due to stress after experiencing financial deception

Queen of All Media Kris Aquino explained why she has been silent on social media: she's lost so much weight due to the stress brought about by a betrayal of a business partner that she's afraid people will lose trust in her.

"But i decided to set myself free and share with you what affected me," read a portion of her lengthy Instagram caption published on Tuesday evening, September 25.

The caption accompanied a video montage that showed a photo of her sunken face, proof of her drastic weight loss.

Kris explained that in the last six weeks, she's lost so much weight because she was unable to eat and sleep properly thanks to the legal battle she's facing.

She admits to being scared that she might lose everything she's worked hard for and saved for her sons Bimby and Joshua because of the person who has targeted and deceived her.

My PAIN comes from my fear that tens of tax paid millions from my sons’ trust funds, money i conscientiously saved for them because i made a deathbed promise to my MOM that Kuya Josh & Bimb will always come first, baka mawala lahat ng pinagpaguran ko para sa kanila It is WRONG that the 2 BOYS I LOVE MOST, MY LIFE’S MEANING & INSPIRATION may suffer consequences because i was targeted & deceived by a person with no conscience.

Hirap na hirap po ako na may mga pinagtakpan sa inyo. Pinayuhan akong manahimik hanggang ma kumpleto ang due diligence. I’ve always been HONEST, sometimes to a fault. The reason you haven’t seen me post new pics is because i lost weight in the last 6 weeks, unable to eat or sleep properly... you told me that you admired my STRENGTH- natakot akong baka mawala ang bilib nyo sa kin because i am now broken. But i decided to set myself free & share w/ you what affected me. My family advised me to have FAITH in our legal system. I am grateful to Atty Sig Fortun for taking care of me over 15 years, and i’m fortunate to now have Atty Florin Hilbay as part of my legal team. Broken trust is like shattered glass, as you try to pick up the pieces, your wounds bleed even more. My PAIN comes from my fear that tens of tax paid millions from my sons’ trust funds, money i conscientiously saved for them because i made a deathbed promise to my MOM that Kuya Josh & Bimb will always come first, baka mawala lahat ng pinagpaguran ko para sa kanila. It is WRONG that the 2 BOYS I LOVE MOST, MY LIFE’S MEANING & INSPIRATION may suffer consequences because i was targeted & deceived by a person with no conscience. The settlement or legal battle will now be in the hands of lawyers i RESPECT, auditing and accounting firms i TRUST, the word of honor of his deeply shamed mother & sister that all my investments shall be returned, and our collective PRAYERS that JUSTICE for my sons will prevail... Everything happens for a reason-maybe God made me experience this humiliation for me to have first hand experience na niloko ako sa pinaghirapan kong pera- dahil nga may BOSES ako at yung boses na yun dapat gamitin para MAGSALITA at IPAGTANGGOL ang mga napipilitang manahimik. I will continue to believe: ang TAMA NILALABAN. ????

Meanwhile, Kris also published a note titled "Patience and Justice" on Facebook page and her blog, narrating her recent discovery of a financial deception by a business partner, which is affecting both her physical and mental health.

She clarified that she was referring to her movie snacking business:

I have told you the recently discovered truth regarding the financial abuse, careless disregard for my existing endorsement contracts, and the total lack of respect for me as a business partner (not KCAP which is a sole proprietorship company- but our movie snacking outlets- 14 branches of Nacho Bimby + Potato Corner; and the just launched Thai beauty brand Snail White) 

Kris added a gut-wrenching sentence that perhaps best demonstrates her peril: "But as with all forms of betrayal the devastating pain of lost trust can wound you to the depth of your soul."

Despite feeling broken, Kris has already started taking action. She's spoken with her lawyers to "gain what is rightfully mine - JUSTICE."

Read the rest of her note below:

I have told you the recently discovered truth regarding the financial abuse, careless disregard for my existing endorsement contracts, and the total lack of respect for me as a business partner (not KCAP which is a sole proprietorship company- but our movie snacking outlets- 14 branches of Nacho Bimby + Potato Corner; and the just launched Thai beauty brand Snail White). This has taken a tremendous toll on my physical and emotional well being.

Concerned relatives and friends have told me that it is good that I learned to what extent I have been taken advantage of early enough-after 16 months before more damage could have been done to KCAP’s finances and tax compliance, and the trusted reputation i have worked so hard to establish in the Philippine and Asia-Pacific business communities. But as with all forms of betrayal the devastating pain of lost trust can wound you to the depth of your soul.

My sister felt that after speaking to two of our countries most brilliant legal minds, my longtime counsel Attorney Sig Fortun, and former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay- I would start to feel a measure of peace because I am now being guided regarding all necessary legal action and proceedings to gain what is rightfully mine - JUSTICE.

I thank you for your patience in waiting for me- I shall be back as soon as my doctor gives me full medical clearance because I know I not just feel physically weak, but I also look embarrassingly not presentable for my online viewers, KCAP’s brand partners, and all the new endorsements God has generously blessed my sons and me with.

Please keep me in your prayers as I work hard on the unenviable task of finding the strength to again rebuild and find my courageous warrior within.
